Chapter 214: Jade Pendant

"Yes, it's me, Grandma. Go back to sleep; I just went to use the bathroom and accidentally bumped into the door," I said, tucking the Evil Repelling Talisman back into my pocket before glancing at the pitch-dark room and retreating.

"Oh, after you're done, hurry back to bed. Don't wander outside at night," she said, and then the light in the room was switched off again.

Don't wander outside at night? What does that mean? Why do I always feel like there's a hidden message in her words, during the day and now at night too?

As I passed the elder's room, I noticed a corner of the curtain was lifted, and underneath it were a pair of eyes, staring straight at me. Huh? Could she have seen everything when I went to that room just now? Was she spying on me? Did she sometimes mistake me for a thief?

Acting as if I hadn't seen, I hurried back to my own room.
